Studying coated mini-screws for tooth movement
Part of Infections, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial tests whether special coated mini-screws placed in the jaw can help move teeth and resist infection. It's for teens and young adults getting premolars removed as part of braces treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be between 16 and 20 years old
- Your orthodontic treatment plan includes removing the upper first premolars
- All permanent teeth (except wisdom teeth) are in place
- Never had braces or orthodontic treatment before
- Have no medical condition that could affect treatment (like weak immune system, bleeding issues, poor bone health, or dry mouth)
- Keep good oral hygiene and do not smoke heavily

This trial tests special small screws coated with nano-material to help move upper front teeth back into place during braces treatment. The screws act as anchors to make tooth movement more effective for patients with protruding upper front teeth.
This study compares different orthodontic force plans to see how they affect “root resorption,” when the tooth root shortens over time. It’s meant to find safer ways to move front lower teeth in teens who have a deep bite.
This study tests a new way to move upper front teeth into better position using braces combined with tiny holes made in the bone. The goal is to correct an overbite (when upper front teeth stick out too far) more quickly and effectively.
This study tests whether orthodontic miniscrews with one special coating cause less gum tissue inflammation and stay stable better than miniscrews treated with ethanol. It may help improve how well miniscrews work and how healthy the tissue around them stays over follow-up visits.
This study compares two sizes of tiny screws (called miniscrews) that are sometimes used with braces to help move teeth. The screws are placed in the upper jaw to help correct an overbite where the top teeth stick out too far. The study looks at how well the screws work, how stable they are, and how they feel to patients.
This trial tests a new technique that uses a phone or tablet app (augmented reality) to help the orthodontist place a small temporary screw in your jaw more precisely during braces treatment. The goal is to make the screw placement safer and more accurate, which may improve your treatment results.
